[Lnc-business] Financial transactions with LNC members

[Caryn Ann Harlos]

But I thought you said that items bought just like they are sold to members
of the public are not part of this.  I paid the same prices as everyone.  I
do not believe purchases that are open to everyone are part of this.  I am
making my convention plans, and I do not want to wait until 7/8 to find out
if I actually have a suite or a room.

Your initial post made it seem like Susan and I got some sweetheart deal
(unintentionally) and I just didn't want to have the Facebook rumour mill
start making up things.   I wanted it to be crystal clear that I was and am
treated in this things like any other members.

*In Liberty,*

* Personal Note:  I have what is commonly known as Asperger's Syndrome
(part of the autism spectrum).  This can affect inter-personal
communication skills in both personal and electronic arenas.  If anyone
found anything offensive or overly off-putting (or some other social faux
pas), please contact me privately and let me know. *
